COVID-19 Update
Reboot & Recover Campaign
We are back! And it’s time to Reboot and Recover from Covid. We join with our fellow thespians here in the Hamptons celebrating the rebirth of live theater in 2021. “Sherlock’s Secret Life” had to close last March but is set to return September 17-October 10. Please join our Reboot & Recover Campaign and help support boots on the ground theater. We are a small but mighty company and rely on friends like you to keep our theater engine running. Recently boots on the ground theater became a Company in Residence at the Southampton Cultural Center and we are thrilled! But we are still totally responsible for our own fundraising.
Please donate today. Our goal: $5,000 by August 1. Thank you so much for your support!
From our Founder & Artistic Director, Bonnie Grice
